The Renting Homes (Wales) Act Explained

Welsh housing law underwent a seismic change as of 1st December 2022 when the Renting Homes (Wales) Act (“RHWA”) came into force, causing a much greater divergence than previously existed with English housing law. The RHWA essentially got rid of the terminology of ‘tenancies’ and ‘tenants’, referring now to ‘occupation contracts’ (‘OC’) and ‘contract holders’. As a result, some uncertainty now exists in Welsh housing law as the new legislation is interpreted. Watch our simplified video to understand what this could mean for contract holders and landlords in Wales.
